What Our Grads Are Saying

I value this program for contributing to my professional and personal growth, as well as helping me to understand a more personal process of knowledge building that is directly applicable to my work with children and their families.

The greatest value was having such unconditional support for my interests, and mentors who were able to help me consolidate them into courses and assignments that made sense for me and my life.

Acceptance, love, and patience are areas I got to work on in myself and in my relationships as I progressed in SDGI.

I deeply appreciate the change in worldview I attained through the courses I took in SDGI. This bigger picture and more long-term view of how life unfolds has been a wonderful asset in my life.

I have created and become aware of a body of work to draw on from my thesis that is informing my life now in a personal sense and in my professional life.

"My experience at SDGI as a learner has been one of tremendous healing, inspiration, and growth."

"The opportunity to be part of the program has expanded my capacity to learn, my ability to dialogue and participate in meaningful conversation. It's helping me to find tools to promote a more gentle activism towards a better world."

The experience in SDGI has put me in connection with kindred spirits, lifelong learners, educational and social activists—and these are just the students! The faculty is a group of the most knowledgeable and experienced people in any educational program of which I have been a part of.

"The courses, the mentors, and the guiding philosophy behind SelfDesign have made my experience of the SDGI M.A. program both enlightening and empowering. I feel deeply inspired by and committed to this enthusiasm based, self-directed learning; already I can see how it has changed my life."

"The instructor led the course with true passion and enthusiasm, sharing her own work with us, presenting course material in engaging ways, and responding thoughtfully and personally to our assignments."
